M:Hello,Milton Hotel Reservations.How may I assist you?

W:Hi,I’m calling to make some changes to an existing reservation.

M:Certainly.Do you have the reservation number?

W:Sure,it’s 219.

M:That’s a reservation for Sally Menkel.Is that right?

W:Yes,that’s right.I’d like to change the check-in date from September 15 to September 16.

M:Certainly.I can make that change for you.Is that the only change?

W:No,the check-out date will also change from the 23rd to the 24th.

M:No problem.We have you arriving on the 16th of September and leaving the 24th of September — altogether,eight nights.Will there be anything else?

W:Yes.Instead of a courtyard room,I’d like a room with a view,preferably on an upper floor.

M:I can certainly change that for you,but there will be a change in the room rate.The new rate is $199 per night,instead of the original $179.

W:That’s OK.These are all the changes.Thank you very much.

M:You’re welcome.Have a nice day!

M:We all know that exercise is good for us.But sometimes it seems too hard to leave the sofa.

W:I can see that.You seldom do exercise.

M:Plus,having the doctor tell us to get two and a half hours of exercise a week doesn’t really help our motivation much.

W:Don’t be discouraged.Now,a new study suggests getting benefits from exercise doesn’t have to be that demanding.Jacob Sattelmair,from Harvard University has done a study into how much exercise is needed to lower the risk of heart attacks.

M:Hmm,interesting!

W:The study showed that people who put in 300 minutes a week of exercise had a 20 percent lower risk of death due to heart disease.Still,the people who exercised 150 minutes a week did pretty well,too,lowering their death risk by 14 percent.

M:And what about the people who exercise half as much as that,like what I’d probably do?Does that help?

W:Of course.Even 15 minutes would help.

　　Look at this picture.It’s the London Tea Trade Centre.As you can see,it is on the north bank of the river Thames.It is the center of an important industry in the everyday lives of the British people.Tea is the British national drink.Every man,woman,and child over ten years of age has on average over four cups a day.About thirty percent of the world’s export of tea makes its way to London.And Britain is by far the largest importer of tea in the world.Now,in the second picture,you can see how tea is tasted in the Tea Trade Centre before it is sold.Here,different types of tea are tasted by skilled tea tasters before they’re sold at each week’s tea sale.It’s amazing to see them at work.Over a hundred kinds of tea are laid out in a line on long tables.The tasters generally taste tea with milk,since that is how the majority of British people drink their tea.The tasters move down the line with surprising speed,tasting from a spoon and deciding what is a fair price for each tea.After that,they…
